Texas/New Mexico Stateline
If you get a cart, you will have to increase your grain moving capacity probably 50% if you are going to be dumping on the go. (trucks, wagons, drying, laborers, etc.) If you can't get it away from the field faster then a grain cart won't really help that much. You'll just be sitting in the field waiting for wagons or trucks to come back. 200 bu corn you will be surprised how much time you save dumping on the go, just as long as there is a way to get it hauled off.

1/2 mile 16 rows to a round in 200 bu, corn you can get by with a 750bu cart easy. Start empty, cut through, unload on the go after you turn around, then empty the combine as you get close to the starting end. Combine never stops or jockeys around unloading into a truck on the end.
